NC (not for this) but I'm long-standing MNer (Pom bear, naice ham...)

This might ruin the whole concept of AIBU but sometimes people pop up with opinions that I am shocked by, not because of what they are but just because they are so marginal. (SPs Cliff Richard obsession, for example?)

So, whilst encouraging you all to go forth and spread your weird and wonderful thoughts all over AIBU and elsewhere, what really unpopular opinions do you hold?

I have a couple of corkers, first one is that Kanye West however much of a knob he is actually is a genius.

People who eat noisily should be KILLED.

Shut up.

I don't want to hear your mastication.

Err... That's probably not an unpopular opinion, aksherly.

VerySmallSqueak · 20/11/2013 21:54

I don't like the theatre or cinema, it scares me, I know not why.

AdmiralData · 20/11/2013 21:55

Agree with iwould. I've got a mixed breed dog who will properly give you a good necking if you don't keep on your toes.

I loathe the Kennedys and Obama, but like the Royal Family. Caroline Kennedy is totally unqualified to be ambassador to Japan.
Some people should not be allowed to breed.
Parents who worry about whether they are good parents are usually excellent.

Alright, seeing as it hasn't deteriorated too much yet, I'll venture one:

I prefer spending time with my DP than my children, lovely though they are.

I expect to do time in hell for that.

Jolleigh · 20/11/2013 21:56

Well played Golddigger

MickeyTheShortOne · 20/11/2013 21:57

HS2 is a croc of shite.
Not fussed if DP watches porn.
Cats have an awful stink about them and they are Satan's spawn. Especially FIL's cat.

Love this thread

Scientology is not a religion
I am confused by people who write 'should of' instead of 'should have'
Hate Dermot o'leary, Kelly Brook, Chris Evans and Katy perry
Also hate formula 1, X factor, 2 and a half men and eastenders
Also hate anything on the radio, no matter who the presenter is or what station is on
Nikki Minaje is not human
Dogs make great pets if you put in time and training
You should be 21 before you can join the army
MP's salary should be performance based - and judged by someone that they don't know!
Salt and vinegar crisps and dairy milk at the same time is amazing
Football is rubbish
Putting up a Christmas tree before December is strange (but i have been watching Christmas films since the start of November)

Phew, that felt good Grin

DziezkoDisco · 20/11/2013 21:58

I think girls dressed in loads of pink look tacky not sweet.

I don't care if my kids drop their 'ts'

I think I'm openminded but honestly dont think I could be friends with someone if I found out they voted tory.

That some people will look back and realise they spend more time online than engaging with their kids looks in mirror

MoominsYonisAreScary · 20/11/2013 21:58

I really dislike the toddler years, especially when they are mine

MoominsYonisAreScary · 20/11/2013 21:59

And teenagers are worse

PippaMiddleton · 20/11/2013 22:00

Religion is just a load of divisive rubbish, based on lies. It does far more harm than good.

Salmotrutta · 20/11/2013 22:00

BOF - I'll go one better.

I may be a teacher... But I actually care more about my family and personal life than I do about anyone else's offspring! Shock

I do not, actually, live in a cupboard in the school waiting for your precious child to come along and rock my world... Hmm

LaurieFairyCake · 20/11/2013 22:00

People who have anal sex are stupid. Asses are not meant to be slack.

You will regret this when you're old ass lets go of shit when you're walking around Marks's at 70.

I'm a teacher and think some of my colleagues subjects are 'dumbed down'.

The GCSE in music (and many other subjects) and A level are much easier than when I took it.

stillenacht · 20/11/2013 22:08

Verysmall.. I think you meant to say pop music is all crap. Classical music is wonderful (listen to some Tchaikovsky, Shostakovich Jazz Waltz, Rimsky-Korsakov, Debussy Prélude de l'après midi d'un faune)

headinhands · 20/11/2013 22:11

Whoever you are, if I see you wearing ANYTHING with Super Dry on it I will assume you're desperate for people to think you're cool and that you're probably quite a boring/shallow person. That's a really shitty thing to think isn't it. :/

VerySmallSqueak · 20/11/2013 22:13

stillenacht - everything is dumbed down nowadays.

Even the "hard" subjects.

I found my old Higher papers in the loft and did a comparison - even the sciences don't cover half the content they used to!

DifferentNow · 20/11/2013 22:14

Animals do not belong indoors.

I don't want to hear about your cats and dogs. Also, get them the fuck away from me.

All sport is boring.

Everyone should breastfeed.

Sending your children away to boarding school is awful.

The 'what are we wearing today' threads give me the rage. What the actual fuck.
